Well, my mother's cooking her thai curry now, and its aroma is really getting my appetite on again. Here i am, telling my good friend Timothy who is in Germany how awesome my mother's cooking smells but of course he wouldn't know exactly how fantastic the aroma is because, how can you do that over the internet?!
How you wish you are able to get a sample smell of the Chanel perfume you want to purchase online or get a whiff of Rachel Ray's 7 layer casserole through her website? Well, i would think if we give it another say 5 years, we would be able to do that. Maybe not that sophisticated as yet as how our communication through video has evolved to become, but definitely will happen I'm sure.
This concept is labeled as Digital Scent Technology. DST would be the future of mankind's entertainment experience. The intended idea is to scent-enable movies,games, music, animation or any digital media. This would change how people watch videos, online retailing, even how people interact with one another, as it create a more immersive and captivating environment for audiences. Atmosphere, mood, emotion and characters can all be enhanced with scent.
There is this device, created by Nuno Teixeira, works like the ink jet printer, though in contrast, it houses 118 cartridges for purification instead of the ink cartridges. The SMELLIT releases the fragrance of the picture on the screen as concentrated "smell gel" that’s evenly distributed by a central fan. So, next time a chef’s cooking a meal on TV, you know how it smells if not how it tastes.Of course, this is only a concept for the time being, but, taking into consideration the fact that it is a great idea, it probably won't take too long until some large company invests in it and starts mass producing it. Until then, Jamie would have take a flight down to Singapore to smell my mother cooking? Hey how about tasting through the internet?!
Watch out for my group's project as we look more into the future of the internet.
